Bed sheet (3) - 300 cm - 280 cm - 1930s trousseau

Rare Elite Ensemble from the 1930s: Monumental Double-Bed Sheet and Two Coordinating Pillow Shams in Richelieu-style Needlework and Handmade Filet Lace Beautiful double-bed bedding dating from around the 1930s, an authentic textile craftsmanship masterpiece and high artisanal tailoring of the era. The sheet measures a very large 300 x 280 cm, made from vintage high-quality cotton yarn, heavy and sturdy. The body of the sheet is not a single mass-produced fabric, but is masterfully composed of three pieces joined along the length. The joints are finished with tailoring stitches done entirely by hand, with ultrafine, virtually invisible stitches, a characteristic feature of artisanal work on period looms. The upper flounce is enriched by a sumptuous Richelieu-style embroidery executed by hand. Within the cut, 38 large, rich floral motifs (diameter 10 cm) with 8 petals are inserted, worked entirely in filet crochet. The fusion of Richelieu cutwork with the filet mesh insert represents the pinnacle of textile mastery of the period. The set is complete with its two coordinating pillow shams in exactly the same thread and fabric as the base. Each sham shows notable craftsmanship, decorated with 46 flowers each (diameter 7 cm) using the same cutwork and filet technique, for a total of 92 hand-worked micro-inserts. Condition: The set is in excellent overall condition; the fabric is solid and the white is pristine. Only, for utmost precision and transparency, a very small spot (likely rust or from a blanket chest) of just a few millimeters in diameter is present on one of the two pillow shams. A unique piece for a high-end collection.
